Did anyone take out their console in their cars? I think I want to take mine out because I think stick shifts look cool without consoles. Do you guys have any experience or pictures of this type of interior mod?

 

id like to see what a stick car would look like with out the console, i think it might look ok if it was doen right with carpet and such.

 

I think you lose the sports car feel without the console personally. It would be like a truck with a manual except that your closer to the floor.

It so very El-Caminio. Just my $0.02.

 

i'd never EVER do that to my car i love my center console, especially having a standard its a wicked armrest.

and yes i have seen it done before, it looked really bad

 

well...with racing seats you can't use it as an arm rest. Plus they are really cheap looking and feeling. If there was a way to get a nice aftermarket piece or do it up in aluminum(I wish...I know that one guy on this board did it, but I don't have the means). That would definitly be the top choice.

 

I think that is a pretty intersting idea, like there are alot of first gen Camaros out there with out a console. Can anyone photoshop a pic of it?

there was a pic posted awhile back with it missing....looked terrible. i agree with the whole armrest thing as it's very nice and it completes the interior. my fiberglass version will be very similar in style just smoothed for a more custom look.

 

Cant wait to see it!

I tried to find that pic but to know avail...Do you have a pic of it and do you have a pic of your fiberglass one? Where did you get it?

 

i've been looking but i can't find the pic.....i'm building my own and i don't have it quite finished so no pictures as of yet.

 

Okay...I would really appretiate it if you post pics of it when you finish everything. It would be interesting to look at.

 

i will....

i'm surprised no one has the picture of the car without a console...??

This topic has been discussed before. I will leave this thread open, just try to stay on the subject. Thanks.

 

Our car look pretty bad w/o a console because they were designed (the dash) solely with it in mind. Older era muscle cars looked good because they were framed a little differently and didn't have to have the huge trans tunnels that our cars have.
I have my stock shifter chopped as far as can be cut down and still have the OEM handle on it but, it still looks large w/o the console around it... Lack of console in these cars is not befitting just because the dash was designed to have it accent the interior styling... (*edit...also.. where to put the e-brake handle ?)

 

no console doesnt look good, My console was out for a few months while i was putting the interior back together, and it sucked.
